Yeah I knew you ment that, so 8/12miles would be far enough away? but depends on size.
This stuff doe's my head in, I read about it but it won't stay in, I wouldn't have much of a clue what to do in case of what bomb.

As NR said, use the rule of thumb.

Get as far away from the scene as you can. When you look back at the scene, stick your thumb out. When you squint at your thumb, if the thumb totally covers the scene of the explosion, it's pretty safe to say you're far enough away.
